Can't rewatch right now, but I seem to remember TCCoDW not being terribly highly regarded. Is this the case? I liked it (but I'm, er, a bit EOG).

Do we (collectively) have an interpretation for what exactly Gabriel was attempting to achieve (and did he succeed?) in CC?

"Changing Channels" is pretty straightforward. He was trying to get Sam and Dean to vessel up. But they trapped him in an angel fire ring and shamed him and by "Hammer of the Gods" he'd changed his mind.

Ok. I can see the change between then and HotG. I guess it was the Mystery Spot => CC motivations that were possibly confusing.

DA - I think in Gabriel's mind, he'd put all this effort into trying to get through to Sam in Mystery Spot, and yet Sam had gone ahead a released Lucifer anyway. So he'd decide that humans were hopeless, and they should just go ahead and get the Apocalypse over with as soon as possible.

I think TCCoDW in itself wasn't bad, but within the context of S5, it was the third filler ep in a row and that just killed the momentum the first 4 eps builds up.

I can see that. But then people keep clamoring for a non-arc MOTW season, and I get confused about whether "filler" is bad or not.
